Bug#42011: kdevelop frezes on large output to stdout

[mah at alslug.dk]

Package: kdevelop
Version: 2.1beta (using KDE 2.2.2 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux 8.2 i586 - 8.2
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-6mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

By mistake i made a program that got into a endles loop producing huge amount af output to stdout.
when using debug run, kdevelop freezes leving me unable to stop the runaway program..
I then killed my program from a konsole, this made kdevelop responsive again until i click on the stdout tab. To look at the output this made kdevelop freeze again.
I have reproduced this a few times.

The endles loop occoured in a rule in a lex file.

<<EOF>>   printf("EOF found"); yyrestart(yyin);

I found a bug telling that restart i slow after large output. But this is not the case here. If i run the program with F9, in a seperate console there is no problem. i hit CTRL-C and things return to normal.
